Lucky

Tuesday 8th November 2022
88 minutes. Cert 15.

Director: John Carroll Lynch
​US 2017
Harry Dean Stanton, in his final film, plays Lucky a crabby, no-nonsense, ex WW2 vet whose daily routine is a mix of cigarettes, press-ups, daytime TV and crosswords interspersed with time hanging out in his local community. It’s a film about coming to terms with one’s own mortality, dealing with choices made in life but at it’s heart a warm, touching, powerful, often amusing film that celebrates life. And a giant tortoise called President Theodore Roosevelt!
